Document Summary
The model of successful aging as presented by rowe and kahn consists of three main components: prevention or absence of disease and disability, high cognitive and physical function, and active engagement with life. As you mentioned in the reflection instructions, this model comes easily with controversy. I think that these are all good components, but aging happens from so many other factors. The model left out the fact that genetics does play a role in aging and that there is only so much we can control. If i were going to change it, i would definitely add other components that may or may not affect certain people. Personally, a component related to spirituality would successfully help aging.
